Russian detain more people at protest in Moscow

(27 Jul 2019) Russian police cracked down hard on demonstrators in central Moscow on Saturday, beating a number of protestors and reportedly detaining more than 800 people. The protests lasted more than seven hours, first around the mayor's office and then moving to a square where riot police waded in and made arrests. The gatherings, which were unauthorised, were in protest against the exclusion of several opposition candidates from the ballot for the forthcoming Moscow council elections. "I see a square full of free people," said one of the independent candidates, Ivan Zhdanov, addressing the protestors. Another independent candidate, Yulia Galyamina, had strong words for the riot police. "You can't be doing things like this because you'll be ashamed to look in the eyes of your mothers, sisters and future children," she told them.
